What would you do-- huge family dilemma.?

Sounds like my situation...(sort of mine is a little more complicated). I have not spoken to my mother since May and it hurts me everyday. I chose my man over my parents I have a 2.5yo and am pregnant with our second.

I have decided I am going to wait it out with my mother. It seems like it is hard for them to understand that we have to live our own lives. Her escalating the fight is pretty terrible and putting you in the middle is worse.

But what is done is done. If your mother is willing to break ties over something like this when she understands your opinion on it, than that is her decision and you will have to do like me and wait until she is willing to let it go...let it ALL go. I am still waiting for that day and will continue to do so because I am not wrong in trying to live my own life my way, not theirs.

I understand normal loving parents want the best for their children but that doesn't mean they know what it is.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
